Best Side of Cornbread

Charleston Grill

Staff Pick

The elegant and ornate Charleston Grill regularly takes traditional Southern-style cuisine into almost otherworldly realms, but they treat certain side dishes and garnishes with a simple and delicate approach. Executive Chef Michelle Weaver sends her cornbread out to the dining room in a very cute miniature iron skillet that's maybe four inches in diameter. Peppery, a little sweet, and perfectly crumbly, it's the best thing to accompany a dish of pork belly and field peas, oyster-shellfish stew, or squab with chow-chow.
